Fence near Oak Cliff

When the Oak Cliff apartments went in along #8 at Leslie Park, we knew that the increase in non-golfers in that area would be significant. We decided that a more apparent delineation of the golf course boundary was needed. We opted for a fence similar to the one we put on #12, along Traver Road.

Posts going in.

The fence ended up being nearly 900 feet long.

In this shot taken from the fairway looking back, you can see the Oak Cliff apartment complex.

From the tee, the fence is well hidden.

It does provide a tangible out of bounds, as well as a reminder to stay off the golf course, if you are not playing.

And a couple of videos.
